 * `query` is the same kind of finding query you use with `find` and `findOne`
 * `update` specifies how the documents should be modified. It is either a new document or a set of modifiers (you cannot use both together, it doesn't make sense!)
   * A new document will replace the matched docs
-  * The modifiers create the fields they need to modify if they don't exist, and you can apply them to subdocs. Available field modifiers are `$set` to change a field's value, `$unset` to delete a field and `$inc` to increment a field's value. To work on arrays, you have `$push`, `$pop`, `$addToSet`, and the special `$each`. See examples below for the syntax.
